Wow. So it’s been a while since the last time I wrote. We had a great Christmas here. Summer had a ton of fun opening and playing with all her new presents. We went over to Miah’s parents’ for the afternoon and opened more presents. Summer got a new sled, which she loves. Tony and Miah pulled her around on it for about half an hour before I finally coaxed her out of it in trade for her getting to romp in the snow. We built a snowman… okay, I built a snowman, but only because she wanted me to. She helped me roll the snowballs across the yard and packed the cracks a little bit. Mostly she just liked throwing the snow. We had a great time, and, by the way, a REALLY good ham. I can’t decide what my favorite present was this year it’s really close between the FOUR seasons of Grey’s Anatomy that Miah got me or the big fluffy pink robe… that Miah got me. I think the robe wins. I hinted to him for about 3 weeks that I wanted a fluffy robe… he’d already bought it for me. He’s great! I’m pretty sure Summer has a favorite present – or at least the one that she gets the most use out of… her Dora the Explorer couch that folds out into a little bed. She pretty much refuses to sleep in her regular bed. A very close second is the pj set that Auntie Meggie got for her. It’s silky pants with flowers and a pink shirt. She’s probably slept in those just about every other night. Two nights in a row if she can get away with it. I say pj’s and she says flower pants. She takes after her Mom with the tactile obsession. Oh, I can’t forget the ‘Baby Alive’ that Donna got for her. She feeds it, sleeps next to it, puts it on the potty, she loves it. (not kidding, that picture was not staged!) We had a great New Years, too. We all chilled at home New Years eve instead of going to the usual crazy raging party that we go to every year. It was nice. After Summer went to bed, Miah and I watched Horton Hears A Who. That was SUCH a funny movie! I was definately asleep by midnight. Now THAT is a good start to a new year! New Years day was pretty mellow, too. We sat at home in the morning and Summer and Miah played Legos. Then we went up to his parents’ house to hang out (and work on Tony’s car). All in all, it was a pretty good end of the year for us.
